NWS-Media Relationship
My goal as a broadcast meteorologist:
Provide the most accurate and precise forecast and the most immediate and
detailed severe weather coverage
NWS-Media Relationship
My needs:
Severe Convection verses Winter Storms
Winter Storms
Forecast Discussions: Request that the NWS is very vocal about bias, trends and specific model of choice.
Climate Data: Numerous and up to date snow reports by 4pm and 10pm
Severe Convection
Extended: Next 5 Days
Short Term: Day of event
Real Time: Happening
Post Event: Storm Assessment
Severe Convection
Extended: Next 5 Days
In forecast discussions, help identify convective risk as soon as apparent.
Severe Convection
Short Term: Day of event
In hazardous outlook, break down the specifics of storm risk and storm mode:
•Single verses Multi-cell•Size of hail•Strength of wind•Timing of event
Severe Convection
Real Time: Happening
In NWS Chat, provide as much lead time as possible and share reasoning:•About to issue warning•Why not issue warning•Be specific about radar signatures
Severe Convection
Post Event: Storm Assessment
Can media be directly involved?
This is very helpful to the broadcast meteorologist to correlate radar signature to damage
